Trista Michelle Whitaker, 29, of Yadkinville was arrested and charged with one felony count of conspire to obtain property by false pretense.

Her secured bond was set at $5,000.

Sandy Lee Matthews, 21, of Yadkinville was arrested and charged with one felony count of conspire to obtain property by false pretenses.

Her secured bond was also set at $5,000.

The three suspects were spotted on a surveillance camera July 5, 2013 shoplifting tires from the Walmart on Kester Road in Winston-Salem, according to the sheriff’s office release. Cameras caught three people walking away with a buggy filled with tires but the thieves could not be positively identified.

Tribune news partner WXII and the Winston-Salem Police Department requested help in identifying the subjects.

The Yadkin County Sheriff’s Office investigated the crime in conjunction with Winston officers and found the tires had been sold to a local Yadkin merchant.
